The - almost - complete practice video for VCE
“Almost” because you will need to sing (and compose) LOTS of melodies and chord progressions in solfa and read (and compose) LOTS of rhythms in rhythms names along with all the other things on your practice chart to REALLY nail this exam however if you practiced everything in the video everyday (it goes for 15 minutes) you’d be doing yourself a huge favor.
